That's a fair point. I'll admit that LLM em-dash usage likely matches its prevalence in the corpus. However, online message boards and chat is a subset of that corpus that may have a significantly different distribution of em-dash prevalence.

This is necessary nuance that I'll have take into consideration. Thank you.

Eh, I wasn't trying to put you on blast or anything. Obviously there is a lot of nuance to how/why the LLM uses them. I just think the whole "em dash == AI" thing is stupid and way overblown. I wish the people who say that would realize it obviously learned them from somewhere.

You're good, friend. I didn't feel blasted at all. It was a good point
